Green Lantern is reborn and Marvel gains a new Nemesis.

By Hilary Goldstein

The great thing about comics is that there's always something new to buy every single week. Or is that the expensive thing about comics? In any case, each week you are faced with literally dozens of buying choices. We at IGN Comics do our best to lend you a helping hand. Each Tuesday we'll put up a shopping list of every comic, trade paperback and magazine coming out. Some will even merit a spotlight to draw added attention to important or high-quality books. We'll warn you now, these aren't your standard "ripped from Previews" descriptions -- these are our own words on the books we think matter.

Throughout the week we'll be adding 10-second reviews for many of the newly-shipped books. So be sure to head over to our Comics Review page Wednesday for the most recent reviews.

Here's the full list of items shipping on Wednesday, May 11 according to Diamond Comics.
